đŽ not a fan; but if youâre going to cantilever, at least do it a long way up and make it look like a hanging part of the building, not a whole building leaning out. That angling inward bit is unfortunate, and wasnât meant to be there, it was just going hang, got changed after the permit as far Iâm aware. âšď¸ Plus the hanging bit is closer to Exhibition Street I now realise ! This tower built 6m away from the ex #NauruHouse, now to be known as #80CollinsStreet North, the new one South, by @woodsbagot
This part of the #80CollinsStreet development is I think not bad, constructing a frontage of what looks like individual buildings, and will be I think individual three storey luxury shops; one will be the entry to the office tower, the pink one is the old #LeLouvre (which Iâve heard is going to lose the very interesting possibly 1850s rear wing due to âstructural issuesâ). Theyâre actually keeping the âgapâ formed by the demolition of #OggsChemist in c1972, I know lots of people like that gap and the rough wall but Iâd prefer more buildings…..just realised that this streetscape was originally a row of 1855 terraces that Le Louvre was end of.
